We've all been curious to see Mafia: Definitive Edition in action, especially after those gorgeous screenshots. Courtesy of IGN, we now have a lengthy video to watch, giving us about 14 minutes of gameplay and cutscenes.

The visuals look pretty damn good, and it's obviously a significant step up from the 2002 original. As developer Hangar 13 explains, the game has been rebuilt in its proprietary engine, including a brand new lighting solution. The majority of the video runs through a story mission some way into the game. We see plenty of combat, which looks more or less the same as Mafia III, which we suppose is to be expected.

Mafia: Definitive Edition was recently delayed to 25th September. Are you convinced by this gameplay footage? Tell us what you know in the comments section below.

Would love to buy, but I suspect it might have lots of bugs just like the other remakes/remasters.
I hope it will be good though.

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L no. mafia 2 just got a remaster a little while ago. it's not the best quality since it's glitchy for lot's of people. but they are working on a fix. but that's all we are gonna get.

@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L as someone interested in mafia lore in general i would recomend them.
it's a more down to earth,gritty alternative to gta without the attempt to be edgy for the sake of it.

mafia 3 can be repetitive in it's mission structure though,since it's all the same objectives to clear out the enemy bases. but the first 2 are great.

Looks good, I remember playing (and finishing) the first game on pc long time ago

I remember the driving is really slow though, and we can get ticket by police if we're speeding past the speed limit which is unnecessary I think.

I find Mafia games so boring you always think that the world they create will be interesting but they are not. Drive here do a mission drive another place. They create empty worlds with no substance

That looks okay. I'm interested in the mafia setting, but but very hesitant after how buggy Mafia 2 Remastered was after it released. Might get the trilogy when it's discounted, assuming all the problems have been fixed.
